Biography
Julio Herrera y Obes was born in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1841, and he joined the Colorado Party of Uruguay before serving as an advisor to President Maximo Tajes. He went on to serve as President from 1890 to 1894, and he played a leading role in elections and the makeup of the General Assembly. He left office in 1894, but his rejection of an earlier power-sharing agreement with the National Party of Uruguay led to a renewed Blanco uprising in 1897. Herrera died in 1912.
